Main field of research:

  • effect of abiotic stress (temperature, heavy metals, electric and magnetic fields, UV-radiation) on electrical phenomena in plant cells;
  • regulation of plant growth under abiotic stress;
  • phenomenon of heavy metals hyperaccumulation in plants – laboratory and in situ investigations;
  • relationships between heavy metals and physiological processes (photosynthesis, accumulation of macro- and microelements, oxidative stress) in cereal plants;
  • a role of arbuscular mycorrhiza in heavy metals accumulation in plants;
  • quantum aspects of life;
  • quantum bio-informatics.

For students:

  • PhD Studies:
